SUMMARY
The Members Project set out to shift brand perceptions, create new relevance with today's consumers, and tangibly demonstrate the power of Membership, that special quality that differentiates American Express from all other card products. This initiative empowered Cardmembers to make a positive impact in the world with up to $5 million in American Express funding. The results showed a significant lift in brand favorability, as well as Amex's Net Promoter scores, and differentiated Amex by facilitating a dynamic community of passionate Cardmembers.
